ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૨:૩૧
હે મારા વંશજ, તમે યહોવાહનું વચન જુઓ, શું હું ઇઝરાયલ માટે વેરાન વગડા જેવો કે ઘોર અંધકારની ભૂમિરૂપ હતો? મારા લોકો શા માટે કહે છે કે, “અમે સ્વતંત્ર થયા છીએ, ફરી તારી પાસે આવીશું નહિ?”
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह २:३१
हे लोगों, यहोवा के वचन पर ध्यान दो! क्या मैं इस्राएल के लिये जंगल या घोर अंधकार का देश बना? तब मेरी प्रजा क्यों कहती है कि ‘हम तो आजाद हो गए हैं इसलिए तेरे पास फिर न आएँगे?’
